thirteen undergraduate students who participated in the program in2012. Five of the 13 students worked directly with a faculty member and eight students wereassigned a graduate student mentor in addition to working with faculty mentor. This studyfocused only on the eight undergraduate students who were assigned a graduate student mentor.Of the eight students, six students attended four-year universities and two attended localcommunity colleges. Four of the student attending four-year universities had declared/planned tomajor in biomedical engineering, one in bioelectronics, and one in industrial engineering andeconomics. One of the community college students was planning on pursuing a degree in biologyand the other was considering engineering

Thus, our researchhypothesis for this study is that the combination of an ill-structured course using design- andproject-based instructional frameworks can help entry-level bioengineering students overcomeinitial frustrations and failures during development of desired competencies in bioengineering.This paper outlines the preliminary results from select instructional strategies and assessments asthey relate to the development of these competencies (as seen in the overall scores) anddevelopment of human traits (e.g., confidence) throughout the course of the semester.MethodsRationale for the course re-designBiology for Engineers Laboratory (BIOE 121) is a 1-credit cross-disciplinary course

, fittings, and stopcocks. Given a basicschematic for a flow loop that incorporates the flow sensor and pressure taps leading to thetransducer, students are instructed to devise an experimental plan to measure the pressure dropper length for a segment of tubing containing a wire (inserted via the catheter introducer set),matching the dimensions and other parameters used in the analytical approach. In particular,students are cautioned that they must account for minor losses arising from the pressure taps ateither end of the arterial model. The goal is for students to discover that by repeating thepressure drop measurement for two different tubing lengths, they can determine the minor lossand subtract it off. Students use their blood model as the

The objective for the Phase II is tocreate a markerless mocap system integrated with Phase I. The Phase II is meant to addresscurrent problems associated with using marker

Our plan is to take these concepts and developboth in class worksheets and pre- and post-assessments.Basically, there

During the class time, teams perform an initial riskassessment for a few hazards in their design, determine if these risks justify redesign, propose Page 23.1394.4design changes, and re-assess the risk. They then reflect on the importance of Prevention throughDesign and its value to themselves, their employers, and society in the future. The lesson endswith a quiz to determine how this lesson has affected individual students’ attitudes andunderstanding of Prevention through

The deliverables of this module are design project reports, prototypes and logbookdocumenting the design process of the project. In semester 7, the students will be required to takean elective module that enhances their understanding and knowledge of the project.In semesters 7 & 8, the students will continue the DCP-EIM project as their Final Year Project(FYP). At this stage, the direction of the project can take various forms. If the prototype requiresfurther technical development, a more advanced device will be designed, built and tested. Aprospective clinical study could also be planned and carried out to study the

the course. I was very moved by my experiences in Guatemala. The things I had heard and read became reality…I hope to learn more about global health and to make some improvements however possible. This course made me aware of global health, and got me very interested in looking for jobs in this area. I now have a deeper understanding of the health issues of foreign countries, and know of some ways to help. Wish I could learn more, plan to do so. It was an experience that is hard to explain and is better experienced. Learning about different healthcare systems makes me see the healthcare of the U.S. differently…I find myself sometimes looking at problems and not only finding

Therefore, we are confident that this initiative has been a success.Future changesIn the future, we will create additional opportunities for formal interaction between the advisoryboards and BME students. Advisory boards will start giving feedback to the students earlier inthe semester. The students’ preliminary project proposal, developed in the first month of theclass, could move to an online format, as we have done with the mid-semester presentation. Wehave also developed a rubric to assist the advisory board in the evaluation of the design ideas andprototypes.In addition, we plan to include an assessment that evaluates the
